26 He raises a signal flag for the distant nationsf

and whistlesg for them from the ends of the earth.

Look—how quickly and swiftly they come!

27 None of them grows weary or stumbles;h

no one slumbers or sleeps.

No belt is loose

and no sandal strap broken.

28 Their arrows are sharpened,

and all their bows strung.

Their horses’ hooves are like flint;

their chariot wheels are like a whirlwind.

29 Their roaring is like a lion’s;i

they roar like young lions;j

they growl and seize their prey

and carry it off,

and no one can rescue it.
